G avi Alliance E valuation Advisory Committee Meeting
15-16 March 2016
Radisson Blu Hotel, Maputo, Mozambique

1. Chair?s report

1.1 The meeting commenced at 14.40 Maputo time on 15 March 2016 . Rob Moodie,
Evaluat ion Committee Chair , chaired the meeting. He reflected on the work that
had gone into preparing the meeting, the visit which had taken place that morning
to the Manhi ?a Health Research Centre and the Mozambi que Full Country
Evaluations dissemination meeting which would take place on 18 March and which
had been scheduled to coincide with the EAC meeting so that EAC members could
attend . In this context he regretted that there would not be a quorum for the EAC
meeting. Following consultation with the Secretariat, and in particular in light of the
events arranged around the EAC meeting, it had been agreed to go ahead with
the meeting but any proposed decision s arising from the discussions would have
to be circulated to the full committee for approval by unanimous consent, in line
with the Gavi Statutes and By -Laws.

1.2 Participants had very much appreciated the visit to the Manhi ?a Health Research
Centre where th ey had been presented with the preliminary results of the
Mozambique PCV effectiveness study as well as the process evaluation of the
routinisation of PCV in Mozambique.

1.3 Standing declarations of interest were tabled to the Committee (Doc 01a).

1.4 Committee members noted the minutes of its meeting on 18 -19 March 2015
(Doc 01b) which had been approved by no -objection on 2 9 May 2015 .

1.5 Committee members noted that it would not be possible to discuss Agenda Items
7 (Final assessment of Albania evaluation repo rt) and 8 (Final assessment of AMC
evaluation report) at this meeting as not all of the EAC members who had
volunteered to review and assess the quality and usefulness of the reports had
done so. The Chair expressed concern that this work was not being done in a
timely manner and encouraged Committee members to volunteer to do the work
only when certain that they could commit to doing so. It was noted that once the
Secretariat has received suffici ent information to compile a final review on the
quality and usefulness of the reports these will be circulated to the full Committee
for information.
